Chapter 341.

Inside the wide imperial study, the sandalwood incense placed on the table was emitting a few drops of smoke, smothering the entire room with a pleasant aroma.

And the various classical and extremely well-designed furnishings showed the Imperial Study to be extremely royal and classical, as well as a noble aura.

At this moment, along with Zhou An uttering these words, a biting killing chance that was completely different from the surroundings gradually erupted on Zhou An’s body.

When the killing chance appeared, the potted plants as well as greenery that were placed around the Imperial Study Room were swept away by the killing aura in an instant, turning into ashes on the ground.

Zhou An’s face was ice-cold, like a piece of ice that could not be melted away even when placed on the fire, revealing a sense of unapproachability that made the hairs on one’s face stand up straight.

Emperor Xingwu sighed when he saw Zhou An’s appearance, “I don’t know where he is, all of this was said by that person from the other world who has died, he told me that when he was escaping from there, he passed by a world that was about to be contaminated, and saw this bizarre that has similar abilities as you.”

“Creepy’s abilities are numerous, like the hair of a cow, all kinds of abilities are not only numerous, but extremely powerful, I just feel a very familiar feeling, isn’t this a living, breathing other you?”

Zhou An fell into silence, and after a long time, said, “If Your Majesty discovers this bizarre trail, please inform me in advance.”

What that letter had just spoken of was Zhou An’s ultimate archenemy, and what the pure white silhouette had said about the weirdness that possessed a golden finger similar to his own.

As long as one had not yet chosen a skill, it would be shared with that Creepy.

And for this Creepy, Zhou An certainly felt that it would be better to settle it early.

Unfortunately, just now, Emperor Xingwu seemed to have no idea where that weirdness actually was.

Zhou An paused slightly, and after a little thought, he continued, “Your Majesty, if you want to enter the rift, or those contaminated worlds, talk to me as well, and I will join the battle as well.”

Just a moment ago, after Zhou An carefully thought about it, he felt that he still had to make this trip.

Not to mention, nowadays, when his proficiency reached level twelve, an extra attribute of Execution of Guile had an even more terrifying killing power against Guile, and was also able to raise the proficiency of the skill.

Then for Zhou An, Guile was a meat and potatoes.

Therefore, Zhou An felt that if he went to the polluted world, to the world that was full of weirdness, it would be beneficial to him instead.

And there was another reason that stemmed from that Creepy that had similar abilities as himself.

Listening to what he had just said, it seemed that this Creepy was also involved in polluting the world, and according to what Zhou An thought, that Creepy should also have a special killing power for humans, just like his own Execution Creepy attribute.

So if he could find this Creepy earlier, Zhou An might be able to get rid of this ultimate enemy of his.

Emperor Xingwu heard this and nodded his head, indicating that it was possible.

Zhou An had come over this time in order to settle this matter and also to discuss the subsequent moves.

Now that the discussion was over, Zhou An felt that there was no need to stay here for long.

He still had to go to Liver Proficiency.

But before that, Zhou An did not intend to go back either.

Now that the entire world, was at peace, it was the same wherever he went, so Zhou An planned, to stay inside the capital of this Great Chu Kingdom, where liver proficiency was the same.

Zhou An arched his hand and left the imperial study, under the eunuch’s leadership, while leaving the palace.

Inside the Imperial Study Room, only Emperor Xingwu was left alone, and Emperor Xingwu did not rest, continuing to start laying out the subsequent plans.

On Zhou An’s side, he was in the middle of livering his proficiency, while on the other side, Yang Lao and Green Clothes were already preparing for their next entry.

The half-human, half-creepy aura on the two of them had long since regained its balance.

Within the black palace, Yang Lao and Green Clothes glanced at each other before casually slashing the void in front of them.

After a crack appeared, the two of them didn’t hesitate and immediately plunged within the crack.

Within the crack, it was still the same kind of terrifying and gloomy environment, everywhere was gray, and the ground was filled with burnt dirt, and disgusting blood stains.

Every now and then, there were weirdnesses that swept through the sky, and at the same time, those weirdnesses all looked up and down at the two of them.

After sensing the bizarre aura of the two of them, they did not launch an attack and turned around to leave.

Yang Lao looked around and said, “Let’s go, I left a trace of my aura back then, and it can be felt just as well now.”

Green Clothes nodded, then followed behind Yang Lao, the two of them walked in a direction.

Along the way, naturally, they encountered a lot of weirdness, but fortunately, the two of them were half human and half weird, so they were not attacked or obstructed.

It didn’t take long before the two found the crack they were in before.

Without hesitation, they crossed the rift and arrived at the world where the building owner was.

It was still the same devastated land, the mountains with broken walls, and the saddening dilapidation.

Yang Lao and Green Clothes followed the scent left behind from before, heading in one direction, walking slowly, and without walking for long, they came to the location where they were before.

This was the place where the humans had settled, and it was also the last treasure land of this group of people called the Firmament.

When they arrived, they immediately felt that there were quite a few human figures watching them.

Elder Yang waved his hand, and then gave off a trace of his human aura, allowing the crowd to feel that they had no ill intentions.

Not long after, a familiar person walked out from the shadows with a respectful attitude.

“The two seniors have arrived once again, but they are here to find the building master.”

This person, was the person that Yang Lao and the others had met when they first arrived, so they still recognized him.

Yang Lao nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, and asked him to lead the way.

The man didn’t hesitate and turned around to lead from behind.

Before long, the two of them went to the hidden space where they had been in the first place.

And here, the building owner was sitting in his seat, tapping his hand on the desktop as if he was thinking about something.

Only after sensing the arrival of Old Yang and the others did the Building Master stop his movements and cast his eyes over, a smile appearing on his face.

When Elder Yang saw this smile, he seemed to have sensed something and asked, “Has it been taken care of?”

He had come here in the first place in order to unite all the remnant worlds, and now looking at the Building Master with this mesmerizing smile, Yang Lao felt that it should have been pretty much taken care of.

The building master gestured for the two to sit down before he said, “Your Majesty, after my lobbying everywhere during this period of time, most of them have agreed so far, but there are still a few that need to continue to go on about it, and perhaps someday, it will be able to succeed.”

Yang Lao nodded, “Those are not urgent, as long as there is a large portion, we can gradually expand this advantage, after all, there are many, many destroyed worlds.”

The owner of the building answered and asked, “So it starts now?”

“The process of the Emperor’s line of work seems to require the establishment of a country, I don’t know how Your Majesty needs to go about establishing it.”

This line of work was particularly special, so the owner actually didn’t know much about it, especially since the current Yang Lao didn’t seem to be that kind of traditional emperor anymore.

Yang Lao thought for a moment and said, “This matter, I will naturally tell you, but before that, there is a more important thing, you still remember your your son-in-law Zhou An, right?”

Son-in-law?

Hearing Elder Yang mention this, the owner of the building looked puzzled, but quickly thought of who it was and asked.

“Is it Zhou An?”

Elder Yang nodded and then told all about some of the things Zhou An had done in the outside world.

When the building owner finished listening, he revealed a surprised expression.

“I didn’t expect this brat, Zhou An, to have improved so terrifyingly, according to your words, Your Majesty, his current strength, even if it’s me, I’m afraid there’s no way that I can be able to finish off.”

Elder Yang nodded, “This kid, turning the four words, Adversity Felling Up, into an exclusive name is not as simple as saying it, so it’s only natural that you can’t beat him.”

The owner of the building sniffed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself that what kind of weirdo was Zhou An, simply a demon, this rate of improvement was too terrifying.

Of course, with all the emotions in his heart, he still didn’t forget about the main matter, so he opened his mouth and asked.

“Your Majesty, you mentioned Zhou An just now, could it be that the matter mentioned below is related to Zhou An?”

Yang Lao nodded and said, “Indeed it is related to Zhou An, I have a plan now, let’s hear it.”

Within this hidden space, Yang Lao spoke to the building owner about his plan to take the initiative to deal with the marauders.

After the building owner heard it, he fell into silence.

In his opinion, this plan was very risky, and the risk was in taking the initiative.

But as the saying goes, risk goes hand in hand with gain, and underneath the huge risk, there is also a huge gain.

An uncontaminated world like that was extremely valuable to the predators, like a piece of tantalizing food, every predator wanted to get a piece of it, and even the symbiotes were all trying to find uncontaminated worlds.

So it was only a matter of time before that world of Zhou An’s and theirs was exposed, and once it was exposed and more and more predators entered, it wasn’t really possible to carry it off.

And this method that Elder Yang was talking about seemed dangerous, but if it could be dispatched well, it would be able to eliminate the marauders one by one, reducing the danger to a level.

The building owner raised his head and asked, “So what your majesty means is that you want to ask me how I can find those marauders?”

Yang Lao said without hiding anything, “That’s right, this is actually the first time I’ve heard these three words, but you’re different, you’ve been roaming around the many destroyed worlds from time to time, so you should be well aware of it.”

The Floor Master thought for a moment, then said, “Your Majesty, I am indeed well aware of how to go about finding those marauders, but the process is extremely dangerous.”

“If one wants to find those marauders, it is actually quite simple, it is to go through the cracks in the rift and go to the various contaminated remnant worlds, or go to those worlds that are not contaminated.”

“After all, the Marauders looked for those worlds one by one in the same way.”

“Perhaps it’s not just those marauders that face dangers in the process.”

Passing through the rift and then searching for the rift that led to another world, in between, one would have to pass through that vast world that was only bizarre.

The danger of humans entering it could be imagined.

Almost as soon as they stepped into that land, they were already in boundless danger.

Elder Yang sniffed and said after a moment, “Even if it’s dangerous, it’s still better than being a sitting duck, I’ve heard that they can still leave behind coordinates to look for those uncontaminated worlds.”

The building master nodded and said, “That is indeed the case, but it is also necessary to pass through the worlds in the cracks, so in the process of searching, whether it is a predator or a symbiotic one, it will actually lose a lot as well.”

Hearing this, Yang Lao fell into silence.

He was now, about to consider the issue of gains and losses.

He had thought that he could find the predator through a special method and then eliminate the predator, but he had used the simplest and most dangerous method.

If that was the case, it was possible that before the marauders were found, the people on their side, in the process of searching for them, would encounter those terrifying and powerful shenanigans and suffer a loss.

This would need to be weighed to see if it was feasible.

The building owner seemed to have seen Yang Lao’s thoughts and continued, “Actually, it’s not without a solution.”

Yang Lao asked, “What other ways are there?”

The building owner carefully organized his language before speaking, “There is a part of the marauders, they gradually found the law in the process of searching, and then they developed a set of methods specifically used to circumvent the weirdness and hide their own aura, this method can only be feasible in the cracks, and one must also be careful and cautious not to make a move in the middle of the cracks, or else they will attract the weirdness. ”

Yang Lao mused, “Since you have this method, hurry up and say it, I will see if it fits, perhaps it can be the key to victory.”

What he was most worried about now was a folding in the middle.

If the Floor Master had a method that could avoid a fold, then this plan would be able to continue to be used.

The Floor Master let out a bitter smile and shook his head, “Your Majesty, I’ve only heard of it, but I don’t know exactly what the method is, after all, what I’m doing right now actually requires me to avoid the presence of the Marauders.”

He was now traveling around the various remnant worlds, pulling the stalwarts together to fight back, while acting as a source of intelligence himself.

So this thing that he was doing in the main building was needed to circumvent the Marauders, otherwise those Marauders would have found out that there was another half-human, half-creepy being here, and I’m afraid that they would have already killed over without a second thought.

Yang Lao thought about it and nodded, “Okay, then I will bring this news back first, in this way, you will see if you can find a way for them to circumvent the weirdness while staying safe, so that after the plan is implemented, they will be able to wear down the living forces of those marauders at the fastest speed.”

Still, don’t look at the fact that those Marauders sounded quite powerful on the surface, but that was because they had to join the ranks after their world was destroyed.

As for that world that Zhou An and his group were in, it had hardened itself against the weirdest and most terrifying period.

To really talk about strength, Zhou An’s world was the one that was particularly powerful.

So Yang Lao was not at all concerned about dealing with the Marauders’ battle strength, and was only concerned about how to go about finding them.

The building owner nodded his head and agreed, stating that he would definitely go and do this.

Yang Lao and Green Clothes glanced at each other, they didn’t stay long and prepared to leave.

As for the matter of being an emperor, Yang Lao came over to speak about it once afterward, and it was the same.

After he went back, he still had to go and prepare for it, he this was not a traditional emperor, he needed to proceed on top of the bases of the relief before he could do so.

And there was a more important thing, which was to bring this information to Zhou An.

They couldn’t find a way to circumvent the shenanigans, what if Zhou An could?

After all, Zhou An’s abilities were simply too many, so many that even Elder Yang and Green Clothes found them peculiar.

However, just as the two of them were about to leave, Green Clothes suddenly thought of a problem.

She turned her head, looked at the building owner, and asked, “If the Hidden Master is still around, can he circumvent these weirdness?”

The building master was slightly stunned, then with a forceful clap of his hands, he said, “A hidden master can, but it seems like hidden masters have long since gone extinct.”

The line of stealth masters was extremely special, able to make people lose their sense of presence, a sense of presence that was even more terrifying than invisibility.

If there really was a stealth master, the owner felt that it was completely feasible, as long as one didn’t reveal their abilities in the weird world, they wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered at all.

However, hidden masters have long been extinct, even in the era of the original great domain dynasty, there are very few hidden masters appear.

After all, when this line of work was cultivated to the top, that was when people forgot about the person.

So whether it was extinct or forgotten, no one knew, even Green Clothes didn’t practice this line of work in the first place.

Green Clothes turned his head to look at Yang Lao and said, “Your Majesty still remembers that back then, Zhou An had said how they had destroyed the Great Qi Kingdom?”

Yang Lao’s eyes brightened slightly, “I’ve thought of it, he said at that time that it was because of the Hidden Master, if that’s the case, then the problem in the middle, can be completely solved.”

“With the Hidden Master, my plan will be able to work perfectly.”

The owner of the building looked left and right, suddenly feeling a sense of headache.

Why did he always feel that everything would be linked to Zhou An, and this Zhou An was also his future son-in-law, it was simply a headache.

Whether it was an ordinary person or someone in their line of work, their attitude towards their daughters was the same, that is, the pearl in the palm of their hand.

Every time the name Zhou An was brought up, the owner felt a toothache, including now.

“Since there is a way, then I’d like to trouble the two seniors to talk to Zhou An, so we can perfect this plan as early as possible, and then solve it as soon as possible after we do so.”

Elder Yang and Green Clothes nodded and did not stay any longer, leaving the place, passing through the rift, and returning to the black palace in the Psychic Space.

After returning, they began to silently dispel the weird aura this time.

Luckily, they didn’t go for long this time, so they didn’t need to dispel it for too long.

And while waiting, Yang Lao stood up and then came to those black reliefs.

Green Clothes knew very well what Yang Lao needed to do and did not say anything, sitting at ease, waiting patiently.

Yang Lao reached out his hand and slowly caressed those black reliefs, then sighed.

He didn’t say much, he just touched his hand on it, and those black reliefs gave off an aura of old sages, as if they were a former friend, constantly flashing in front of him.

Subsequently, the bizarre aura in Yang Lao’s body, and the human aura mixed with each other, and the black national fortune on his body was like a torrential river, filling up all this space.

After the black national fortune filled this place, it immediately began to coalesce, and within a few moments, a black jade seal emerged in the sky, slowly descended, and fell into Yang Lao’s hands.

Yang Lao stroked this jade seal with his hand, then turned his head to look at Green Clothes.

At this moment, Green Clothes had already stood up and bent down slightly, “Congratulations, Your Majesty, for successfully condensing the jade seal and now stepping into the way of the emperor once again.”

Yang Lao nodded and looked at the black jade seal in his hand with a complex color in his eyes.

In fact, before, although he was also in the line of the emperor, he was still so close, and when the black jade seal coalesced, he stepped out to the final step.

All he needed to do now was to return to the owner of the building, have the people call him emperor, and then part with a portion of the black jade seal, and he would be able to step out onto a brand new path.

Just as Elder Yang was pinching the black jade seal and feeling a lot of emotions, all of a sudden, he sensed a hint of movement and then looked in a certain direction.

“Zhou An is late today.”

Elder Yang put the black jade seal away, “Let’s go, go and meet him, since we already know the method, let’s go over and tell him.”

The two of them nodded without hesitation and urged the black palace, quickly disappearing.

On the other hand, Zhou An entered the Psychic Space and was also thinking about himself.

He had made this trip to see if Elder Yang and Green Clothes were still there, and if they were, he might ask them to convey a message to the Building Master, and the thing that was conveyed was related to that Creepy.

After all, the Building Master was roaming around the worlds, if he could find a message related to that Creepy at a critical moment, Zhou An would likely actually carry his sword and kill him.

After all, Zhou An felt that he was in no great danger now that he had entered within the rift, and also possessed Xuan Shadow Thousand Kills, a concealment ability.

As long as he was careful, finding it would only be a matter of time.

While Zhou An was thinking like this, the black palace had descended here in a matter of moments.

Zhou An saw the figures of Old Man Yang and Green Clothes in the black palace.

At that moment, Zhou An also saw the black jade seal that Yang Lao was carrying in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Yang Lao should have already met the Building Master and was preparing to move towards the final step.

Zhou An took two steps forward and was about to inform Old Yang of his thoughts.

However, it never occurred to him that before he could speak his speech, in the next moment, he sensed a trace of abnormality.

Zhou An realized that in Yang Lao’s body, there was a trace of a familiar aura remaining.

And along with the appearance of this familiar aura, Zhou An felt that his consciousness, was gradually becoming blurred.

This blurring was instantaneous, and in the eyes of Yang Lao and Green Clothes, Zhou An stood in place as if he was a piece of wood, his eyes lifeless.

Only Zhou An himself knew that at this moment, he had arrived in a special space.

Here, everywhere was gray, and in the middle of this gray was a pure black garden.

In the center of the garden, a pure black silhouette was standing on it, carrying a burst of destructive aura.
